Meeting Point: Samsung Store – Bitexco Tower (Main Gate), 2 Hải Triều St., District 1
We’ll meet at the main entrance of Bitexco Tower, right in front of the SAMSUNG Store (not the Starbucks side), facing Nguyễn Huệ roundabout. Easy to recognize with the big Samsung sign.
Once there, look for our guide — typically dressed in a traditional Southern Vietnamese outfit with an "áo bà ba" (silk shirt), a conical hat (nón lá), and a checked scarf (khăn rằn). This outfit makes our guide easy to spot and reflects the authentic cultural spirit we bring to the tour.
